TUESDAY, JULY 17/12

Fog has move off, an eerie sight with the top of Ross Island and the remnants of the lighthouse showing out of the remaning wisps in the harbour. Total calm, a muggy 17C, expect to clear and temps rise with high humidity into mid 20's, still a far cry from the folks on the mainland.

Emily tutoured me on transferring photos, once then had other important matter to attend, as a consequence the photos I have downloaded are pretty well hit and miss, will attempt to make myself more familiar with the process.

Rob out of the house @ 0630HRS, limited time off so far this summer, he dosen't mind a bit. He realizes more time more cash. Emily has a roomate identified for university, no contact as yet. Will be a tenant at the Lady Dunn Residence, an e-mail from the President of the residence positive, they are referred to as "DUNNISOURS" she has not given an idea of how this will be in her mind. The transition to the next stage is underway.

Your up-loaded pictures are just wonderful. You have to admit that both the kids have really nice looking dates - even whatshisname cleans up very well. hahaEmily is absolutely stunning in her gown. Don't you wish they occasionally still dressed up. They look so impressive.

I think you must have mowed the lawn with scissors. It, and the gardens, are so manicured it looks like something you would see in House and Home. Excellent job. I guess your 'Honey Do' list produced some of this result. I wish mine would. It's either do it myself, or forget it. Boys don't garden?????

It is so humid here. Walking outside is like being in a steam bath. To make matters worse, I have to turn the over on and bake for a bake sale tomorrow. What kind of torture is that. However, funds are for a little 7 year old girl who has bone cancer and thus far has to have her shoulder blade completely taken out. So, I guess a small amount of suffering on my behalf is not really going to be equal to what that poor kid has to go through. AWFUL.

Well, better get to baking.

I am so impressed with your pictures Rob. I especially loved the garden flox and daisies. Such an award winning garden.

Rob just checked out your WU photos. Such great pictures. There are the window boxes I have always wanted to see. Donna's flowers are lovely and Miss Emily and her guy are just adorable. Thank you for sharing.
